Achille Castiglioni transforms a compact group of exposed light sources into an architectural composition with Taraxacum 88 C/W lamp, a design conceived to work on either the wall or the ceiling. Five polished aluminium triangles interlock to create an open geometric framework carrying fifteen E27 LED bulbs, allowing structure and illumination to remain equally visible. The modular form has the energy of a starburst yet preserves a surprising sense of transparency, so surrounding materials and architectural surfaces remain part of the composition. Whether positioned overhead in an entrance or mounted vertically as a statement wall light, the fixture establishes a powerful focal point through repetition, reflection and carefully controlled proportions rather than through a conventional shade.

A luminous sculpture within Flos Ceiling lights

As part of the Flos Ceiling Lights choice, Taraxacum 88 C/W offers an expressive alternative to traditional flush-mounted fixtures. Its fifteen exposed bulbs create a constellation of luminous points across the polished aluminium structure, while the reflective triangular modules multiply highlights and add visual depth around the installation. The included E27 LED bulbs make the geometry immediately legible once illuminated, yet the lamp retains its sculptural identity even when switched off. Used as a starburst ceiling light, it can animate a living room, lobby or gallery-inspired entrance without enclosing the space beneath it. The wall-or-ceiling configuration also gives architects greater freedom to adapt the same distinctive language to different surfaces and spatial requirements.

Flos Taraxacum 88 C/W: exposed light shaped by modular geometry

The Flos Taraxacum 88 C/W wall/ceiling lamp reflects the experimental approach associated with Flos, turning five polished aluminium triangles and fifteen visible bulbs into a coherent decorative and functional object. Designed for indoor use, the fixture produces diffused illumination that contributes to the wider atmosphere rather than concentrating light in a single narrow beam. Its open construction gives the Taraxacum 88 exposed bulb ceiling light a visually lighter presence than its bold silhouette might suggest, making it suitable for interiors where strong character is required without concealing stone, timber, plaster or richly layered finishes. Mounted vertically, the same structure becomes a dramatic luminous feature capable of giving otherwise quiet walls a distinct architectural rhythm.

An expressive icon within Achille Castiglioni x Flos and Flos Wall lights

Closely connected with Achille Castiglioni x Flos and naturally suited to Flos Wall Lights, Taraxacum 88 C/W demonstrates how a single design can shift identity according to its orientation. On the ceiling, it acts as a sculptural centrepiece that distributes light across the room; on the wall, it becomes an illuminated graphic object whose polished aluminium surfaces respond continuously to daylight, artificial light and surrounding colours. The Taraxacum 88 sculptural wall light works especially well in refined residences, boutique hotels, lounges and reception spaces where lighting is expected to contribute visibly to the interior language. Through its fifteen included bulbs, modular five-triangle framework and dual mounting possibilities, the design combines technical simplicity, reflective materiality and unmistakable Italian design character in a fixture conceived to remain compelling from every viewpoint.
